  • 5 TOP PLACES to HUNT for VAMPIRES Zoomer | October 25Th, 2012
    5 TOP PLACES TO HUNT FOR VAMPIRES Zoomer | October 25th, 2012 ike the immortal blood sucking creatures themselves, our fascination with vampires isn’t L dimmed by the passing centuries. These pale-faced, fang-toothed icons have inspired centuries of horror and mystery — not to mention a Hollywood blockbuster or two. (Who can forget Max Schreck as Nosferatu or Bela Lugosi’s Dracula?) Before the Twilight Saga and True Blood , author Bram Stoker spun vampire legends into a literary classic that continues to capture our imaginations. While today’s vampire fans flock to the scenes of their favourite TV shows and movies, there are many places you can sink your teeth into some good old-fashioned vampire lore. After all, vampire haunts can offer more than sets: the history, culture and scenery make them destinations their own right. In the spirit of Halloween, here are five vampire-spotting destinations inspired by Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel . Transylvania, Romania Long before Bram Stoker’s Dracula called this central Romanian province his home, the "land beyond the forest" has a tradition of the supernatural. Vampires reportedly haunt its sites on St. George’s Day and the eve of St. Andrew, and its supposed location on one of the earth’s strongest magnetic fields give the locals extra sensory abilities. Stoker drew inspiration not just from local lore, but from one of the country’s famous rulers: Vlad III Dracul of Wallachia, better known as “Vlad the Impaler” for his brutal method of executing his enemies. Portraits of this infamous leader even look like our modern imagining of Dracula.

(2017) ‘The undead and dark tourism: Dracula tourism in Romania’, in G. Hooper and J.J. Lennon (eds) Dark Tourism: Practice and Interpretation, Routledge, Abingdon, 121-133 Introduction Although I have been researching Dracula tourism (the visiting of places in Transylvania associated with the Count Dracula of fiction and cinema) for more than a decade, I have not previously examined it in terms of dark tourism since, to my mind, there was little direct connection between such tourism and death or human suffering. However, conceptions of dark tourism are continually evolving and the phenomenon is now increasingly defined in terms of the ‘macabre’, meaning that dark tourism now embraces a wider range of sites and experiences which are not directly associated with death. I wish to begin this chapter by considering the changing definitions of dark tourism with particular reference to the notion of the macabre as a criterion for defining the phenomenon. I then want to examine Dracula tourism in Romania from the perspectives of both supply and demand. In terms of supply I argue that there is almost no deliberate provision of tourist experiences based on Dracula, so that identifying Dracula tourism as a form of dark tourism is problematic.

  • Route Through Transylvania, Tailormade by Car 17/01
    Romania: Route through Transylvania, tailor­made by car The Carpathians in Romania, much more than haunting castles, mist­shrouded mountains and the legendary Count Dracula Surrounded by the Carpathian mountain range, Transylvania covers the central part of Romania and is one of the best­known regions outside the country. Much of this is due to the famous vampire Count Dracula, the literary character created by Bram Stoker and inspired by Vlad the Impaler. Thanks to this fascinating road trip, you can follow in the footsteps of the Romanian prince infamous for cruelly impaling his enemies and even explore the ruins of his former fortress, Poenari Castle. You can also visit the perfectly preserved Bran Castle, the bastion chosen by the communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu to locate the residence of Vlad the Impaler and the imaginary vampire Count in an attempt to draw in more tourism to Romania. Or the house where he spent his formative years of life in Sighisoara and which was owned by his father, Vlad II Dracul. Yet despite being firmly placed on the tourist map, Transylvania offers visitors many other attractions than everything surrounding the immortal Dracula. In fact, this region has been controlled by the Dacians, the Romans, the Hungarians, the Transylvanian Saxons and the Ottomans, who all left behind a spectacular multicultural heritage that is very much alive today. Transylvania, translated from its Latin name as 'the land beyond the forest', is actually called Ardeal in Romanian, Erdély in Hungarian and Siebenbürgen in German. In Romania, you'll be enchanted by the beauty of its mountainous landscapes, its lush forests and its architectural heritage that includes iconic buildings such as the communist­era Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest; the Biserica Neagra in Brasov, the largest Gothic­style church in Romania and Southeast Europe; the Citadel of Rasnov; the famous fortified churches of Prejmer and Harman; and the Cathedral of Curtea de Arges, among many other exceptional tourist attractions.
